It can be easily and cheaply cultivated. Besides, Moringa has a direct impact on agriculture, water, sanitation, biodiversity and environment. Moringa responds to environmental and financial sustainability, realism and results, innovation, biodiversity, education and awareness. A wide variety of polyphenols and phenolic acids as well as flavonoids, glucosinolates, and possibly alkaloids is extracted from its different parts and believed to be responsible for biological activities including antioxidant, tissue protective (liver, kidneys, heart, testes, and lungs), analgesic, antiulcer, antihypertensive, radio protective, and immuno modulatory actions.
